WILES OF AWICKEDW WOMAN
A THIRTEEN YEAR Old GIRL EN-
TICED FROM HER HOME
Under circumstances that Lead 20
suspicion of Horrible DE.
signs-A Heartless Aunt.

Rosa Grauthsm, a IL year old girl,
is missing from home ana under cir
cumstances which indicate abduction
for vile purpose. The child's moth.
er reported the case at pol CO head
quarters Wednesday, and Thursday
the authorities were Informed that the
girl had returned. Yesterday mora
ing Mrs. Grsntham a gain appeared ut
the Station House and denied the rn-
mored return. She stated tho child'e
aunt, Annie CUNNINGHAM, sajd to be q
notorious woman at II It Springs, Ark,
had entiCed r 50 away, with the OBJ
ject to accomplish her ruin sDd dis

left home, and was known TO have

School. Mrs. Granttam sBys that

wild with desire TO become pryf.
cient in the art. Her aunt knew this
and weaved fascinating web OF lies
about her own ability IS music
tea cher, and her intention to dress the
girl in fine apparel and give her les
cons on the piano and guitar il she
would 60 with her. Rosa told her
mother that her aunt wanted to get a
number of girls from the Market
Street School to go out West with her
20 concert troupe, promising to make
them all rich if they would accom-
pany her. 1t is reported that Rosa
was seen going to the Louisville and
Nashville depot on the morning OF her
disappearance with bundle under
her arm. The lad says that Rosa bad
on smoked eyeglasses and wal hardly
recognizable. She joined a yelled
woman at the depot, and when last
seen the couple were together and
apart from every one else at the east
end Of the platform.
Mrs. Grantham is in pitiaOle state
OF mind over the affair, snd VOWS fatal
vengeance il che ever encounters the
heartless aunt. II her reported visit
to tho Market Street School and propo-
sition to the young girls be true, it is
by no means credltable to the school
authorities. Surely some safeguard
should be erected against the intrigues
OF disteputsble characters. The case
is new and novel one, and will serve
as warning to the Board.

SETTLEMENT SITUATION.
DILATORY STOCKHOLDERS RE.
BPONsIBLE FOR
tract Between the city aud street
hallway Companies.

President Hadden received a letter
from Napoleon Hill, president of the
Citiz ens' Street Railroad Company,
yesterday, in reference TO the sgree-
ment about consolidation. Mr.. Hill
stated that the contract had been sub.
mitted TO the directors, and they de-
cided to refer the matter to the stock
holders. Whether or not il would be
ratified, President Hill was unable to
state, and no meeting to that end has
yet been called. President Hadden
seesno censure liable against either
Mr.. Hill or Col. Frayser, as they have
both acted in good faith, but thinks it
rather strange the directors or stock
holders would involve their repres mt
stives in any such difficulty. After
the agreement had been drawn up and
verbally assented to at Nashville, the
city representatives did everything
possible to get the measure through.
1t came before the City Council a
month ago, and the railway companies
were given to understand everything
was satisfactory at that end of the line.
Since then nothing has been heard
from tn m until yesterday, and that
was to the effect given above.
President Hadden denies that 1t is a
reopening OF the war between him and
Col. Fray ser, but simply a nulliiying of
the contract which restores the former
order OF things from legal point. For
this he does not consider Col. Frayser
responsible, but the dilstory stock
holders. He does not wish to hamper
the companies by throwing an imped-
iment in the way of disposing of their
bonds and establishing first class ser.

CUT LOOSE FROM WOLF RIVER.
The Peabody Hotel Supplied with
water From an Artesian Well.

Several months ago Manager @. b
Galloway, of the Peabody Hotel, con-
ceived the idea Of fire. eng himself and
guests from the nauseating necessity
OF depending upon Wolf river for
water. To do this he concluded to re-
sort to an a,tesian well, and shortly
afterwsrd let the contract for its sink
ing. The work was then begun and
has steadily progressed ever since I'M
til three days ago, when the contract
ors reported 1T completed. Pumping
was then begun and with results more
than gratifying to all interested. The
water rose from natural pressure to
within twenty.nine feet OF the sur
face, and is then pumped TO a large
tack on top of the hotel. From there
it ia conducted through pipes TO every
room in the hotel. The capacity OF
the well lie $4,000 gallons per day, and
The requirements of the building de-
msnd only $4,000 or 10000 The
water is of beautiful cearnets, with q
slight taste Of mineral, and suitable
for use anywhere. The entire cost Of
the new arrangement was between
$4,000 and $3.50

BURGOlNE'S BESTIALII Y
Az SET FORTH IN A BILL FILED
IN CHANCERY.
A wife's Piiiful Pleading for Di-
vOrce From n RepEObate
Husband.

Priscilla M. Burgoyne has fled in
the Ohancery Cont bill for divorce
and injunction against her husband,
J. r. Burgoyne. The allegations set
forth reveal deplorsble state OF bes-
TALLY and monstroeity. The couple
were married In Birmingham, Eng
land, in 1873, shortly after which they
came TO Memphis. She was a widow
ut the time OF marriage, with one
daughter. In October, 1883, the hus.
band wilfully deserted her and fled to
England, for the alleged purpose of
living in criminal intimacy with bis
stepdsughter, with whom he frequent
ly had improper relations while living
in Memphis. The wife relates further
that Burgoyne has been guilty Of cruel
and inhumsn conduct toward her,
carrying II to such an extent that it
would be dangerous for her to con-
tinus her marital relations with him
He has repeatedly threatened her
with great violence and vulgarity,
calling her "a id liar" and apply-
ing other vile epithsts. Frequent
malicious and murderoug assaults
have been made upon her, ac-
companied by threats TO put an end
to her mortal existence. The only
provocation for all this brutality is
alleged to be reproach for his sban.
donment of coDjugal duties.
Burgoyne had small store on Beale
street, in which his wife acted as
clerk and sales ady, in addition to her
household duties. Because Of his
being q ldiCted to drink, and rs a safe
guard against future distressing
poverty, she besought him to bestow
upon her separate allowance. This
no agreed to at the time, but after.
wards Tenounced the agreement and
laid claim to the entire propsrty.
Before returning to EpRland Bur.
goyne became invol we'd in debt through
recklessness, and to secure them used
his wife's name for property besio wed
upon her by relatives across the sea
and other personal effects belonging Of
right to her. The money thus raised
by him WIS taken along in the flight,
leaving her only 800 with which to
pay his debts. Creditors have poured
in their accounts, all OF which have
been paid as far AZ the availab funds
would allow, and now she is almost
penniless. 1t 10 now proposed by his
creditors to close out her estate, lock,
stock and barrel, and this will subject
her to want and starvation, as she is
physically unable to work for others.
The unfortunate vile prays for an
injunction, restraining the truant hus-
band or his creditors from closing out
or interfering with her businees, and
also to prevent BurRoyne from enter
ing sgsin upon her premises. She
understands that he contemplates ,e-
turning to Memphis at an early date,
or send his nephew TO trouble and
annoy her.

TO TIKI PiCIfIC COAST.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE or THE
ROAD TO TEXAS.
Progress OF the San Francisco Ex.
tension to Paris, Tex.-A
Great Line.

The road from Memphis 10 Fort
Smith will give Memphis almost I'M
interrupted connection with the Pa
cific coast, besides opening up the rich
State of Texas to the merchants OF
this city. The work OF completing
the San Francisco extension to
Paris, Tex, is being pushed with re-
markable rspidity, and track laying is
finished as far as Stanley, a station
ninety. nine miles south of Fort Smith.
All along the line the best OF work
has been done, and, when completed,
the extension can well be classed
among the first class railroads OF the
land. Nothing but the best OF ma.
terial has been used in the construc-
tiop-steel rails, iron and steel bridges,
the latter resting on massive stone
piers and abutments-sll on solid
roadbed. The engineer corps were
fortunate In their selection OF a route,
there having been but comparatively
small amount OF heavy excavating
to do, the great cut at Winding Stair
mountain and the tunnel through
Backbone" being the heaviest. The
track south OF Tushkahoms, Though
but recently laid, is remarkably
smooth, although not yet sur.
faced and tsmped. Fine depot
buildings have been erected
~ each OF the stations, and
each section ia provided with a neat
and comfortable house for the use OF
the section foreman and the hands
under his charge. At regular inter
walls, immense water tanks have been
built TO supply locomotives OF the road.
The side tracks have been put in at
each station, and are Of sufficient ca.
pacity for the transaction OF any
amount Of traffic. Talihins, in the
Choctsw Nation, Is a new town that
has been laid out by the railroad COM
pany, and has been selected ss the end
of division, and ia situated about 100
miles north from Paris and 688 miles
south from Fort Smith, Here will be
built the necessary round houses, car
sheds, repair shops and such other
buildings as may be necessary at such
an important point. A fine turn table
will soon be completed at Talihira,
and will be asubstantial structure. All
in all, the extension will be one OF the
best roads in the land. There yet re-
mains a gap OF thirty five miles be-
tween Fort Smith and Paris on which
the track is yet to be laid, and with
good weather that will be closed by
the middle OF May, and the entire
track ready for the formal opening by
the LIST day of June next. Capt. Mer-
rill has been untiring in pushing the
work OF track laying, and the progress
in that direction has only been retsrd.
ed by the failure Of the graders to keep
ahead. Too inuch praise cannot be
awarded to Capt Merrill and his sub.
ordinates for their zeal and industry
in advancing the great work, and their
strict attention to the interests of the
solid corporation for which they labor,
as we'll as the accommodation OF the
people.
